Marginalia by Connor Sherlock
“Stark stylised flair in a ‘realistic’ forest is a great look. It can feel like how old horror movies used lighting, fog, and lens filters to blast otherworldliness, which is great… Good stuff.”
” It isn’t just the striking visuals or the eldritch underpinnings of this entry in this New Weird Horror, but how it all comes together to form a rich tapestry with drawn out presentation in a way one would only typically come to expect from the cinema.”

“The porter drew a map for me on the back of a brochure. In smudged pencil he showed me where to turn from the main road onto a dirt road and then where to leave the road entirely. I left the streetlights behind me and traveled into the dark.”
Marginalia is a first-person horror game that transports you to Kestlebrook, a secluded valley where history becomes enmeshed with a strange present. Weeks ago Eric left. Days ago you got a letter telling you to come to him. Now you’re here, but precisely where is here? And better yet, when?
Features:
- Two plotlines that interweave with one another to tell the full story of Kestlebrook.
- Beautiful environment hand-crafted by the developers.
- A story about loss and what a person will do to fix a broken past.
- Powerful ambient soundtrack.
- Xbox controller support
- Like, some mythology and runes, or, y’know, whatever.
- Forged in the fires of October 2014, and remade from scratch for 2017
